The Biz Nation

What The Biz Nation does

The Biz Nation is a Colombia-headquartered e-learning company founded in 2010 that delivers corporate training and K-12 educational programs through a neuroscience-grounded methodology. It operates two primary segments: an enterprise arm serving 500+ companies (including AstraZeneca) with corporate training, microlearning, corporate schools, and DEI/sales/innovation programs; and an educational arm (EduBiz) licensing curricula to 300+ partner schools across 10+ Latin American countries, reaching more than 20,000 students. The company also operates Biz Lab (sustainable education, thebizlab.org) and Biz Nation USA (US market expansion, biznationusa.com) as separate subsidiaries. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, with the founders Daniela Carvajalino (CEO), Stephanie Carvajalino (CCO), and Karen Carvajalino (COO) leading the firm. The company has received endorsements from the World Economic Forum, 14 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, and was recognized as the best digital solution in Colombia.

The core product stack centers on the Plataforma Virtual (an online learning platform with 300+ certified courses in soft and hard skills), Microlearning por WhatsApp (delivery of short educational content capsules via individual WhatsApp chats with video, audio, and document formats), Biz Test (a brain-type assessment built on neuroscience principles), and Biz Data (real-time learning analytics). The proprietary methodology combines five pillars: brain composition analysis, neuro-linguistic programming, technology, storytelling, and experiential learning. Supporting offerings include the Plan de Negocios entrepreneurship guide, Escuelos Corporativas, corporate volunteer programs, Biz Fest (the largest educational and entrepreneurship festival), and Power Day (one-day team activation events). The company's newest AI-assisted offering trains corporate teams to become LinkedIn influencers using AI tools.

The business model is predominantly B2B subscription-based with annual licensing: corporate training licenses (microlearning, 300+ course access, corporate schools), EduBiz school platform licensing, supplemented by professional services revenue from events and corporate volunteer programs. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and sales are driven through direct enterprise outreach plus self-serve digital channels for schools and individual microlearning users. Distribution spans direct enterprise sales, self-serve platforms (EduBiz, WhatsApp microlearning), and event-based demand generation across more than 20 cities in Latin America. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, ownership structure, or financial figures, which represents a material data gap for investors.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• edX (2U): Global online learning platform offering university-level courses and corporate training programs. Competes for higher-end corporate upskilling budgets and brings academic-credentialed content Biz Nation lacks.
• Udemy Business: Enterprise subscription offering of Udemy's marketplace of 200,000+ courses in business, tech and creative skills. Comparable as a broad corporate course-licensing model competing for L&D wallet share.
• Coursera for Business: Enterprise arm of Coursera offering thousands of courses, specializations and degrees from top universities for corporate L&D. Competes with Biz Nation for corporate training budgets at a much larger global scale.
• LinkedIn Learning: Microsoft-owned corporate learning platform tightly integrated with LinkedIn. Overlaps with Biz Nation's content licensing and corporate influencer ambitions; much larger scale and enterprise reach.

Direct peers

• Platzi: Leading Latin American online learning platform focused on technology, business and digital skills. Directly comparable as a Spanish-language, LATAM-first e-learning ecosystem targeting professionals and enterprises with subscription-based courses.
• Crehana: LATAM-headquartered online learning platform for creative, technology and business skills with B2B enterprise plans. Closely comparable on geography, audience (Spanish-speaking professionals), and subscription course model.
• Domestika: Online learning marketplace/platform for creative and professional courses, founded in Spain with strong LATAM audience. Comparable on creator-led course model, Spanish-language content, and subscription licensing to teams.

Regional players

• Coderhouse: LATAM-focused live cohort-based online academy for technology, design and business skills. Comparable on regional audience and live instructor-led training, though more cohort- than corporate-license focused.
• Next-U (Banco de Bogotá / Grupo Aval): LATAM online education platform specializing in technology and business courses, with corporate training offerings. Comparable as a Spanish-language, LATAM-anchored competitor in the same course-licensing category.

Emerging players

• Deezer / Spotify for Learning-style audio microlearning players (e.g., Yuna, Libro.fm): Audio-first microlearning platforms (e.g., Yuna) that, like Biz Nation's audio capsules on WhatsApp, focus on bite-sized learning. Comparable as adjacent microlearning delivery models rather than direct competitors.
